SanDisk are attempting to cater for everyone’s tastes and needs with a range of features and colors. There’s 5 colors to choose from including blue, red, black, blue and white.

On the features front you get a choice of 4, 8, or 16GB of storage giving you ample space for audio and video. You’ll need it too as the Fuze+ can not only playback audio, video, and store photos, but will also record voice input through an in-built mic, and pause or record FM stereo.

Don’t worry about running out of storage space though, even if you opt for the 16GB model there’s a microSD card slot which can also take slotRadio cards. Battery life is equally impressive with SanDisk rating it at 24 hours for audio and 5 hours for video playback.

Price start at $79.99 for the 4GB model increasing to $89.99 for 8GB and $119.99 for the largest 16GB player. All models are available from the SanDisk online store now.

This is quite a competitive MP3 player SanDisk has put together. Although the iPod nano may be about to get a refresh, you have to compare this to the existing model. Where as a 16GB nano will cost $159.99, the equivalent Sansa Fuze+ is just $119.99.

It’s important to note that it only looks as though the black model is available with 16GB, other colors are limited to 4 or 8GB at the moment. I’m not sure if that’s temporary due to a lack of stock, or a decision based on what colors SanDisk think we’ll buy.

The ability to record radio, plus the microSD slot, make this a portable player I’d definitely consider. Storage expansion is always high on the list when you have a growing music collection. With 16GB cards available this will easily cover most people’s entire collection with 32GB total on-board memory.
